Had this been reported in the Times, the headline would still be 'LIGHTNING STRIKES: WOMEN HARDEST HIT'.

These same researchers are now seeking grant money for their new study about the theory
that women are more likely than men to be burnt by curling irons, and cut by kitchen knives.
I can't hardly wait to see how that study comes out.

Men are outside more. Simple as that.

Men were also more likely to die due to thunderstorm winds and tornados. Wife: "Stop watching football and get your ass to the drug store right now!!! I've run out of PMS pills!!! Buy the extra-strength ones...and also get me some super-flow maxis!!!"
Husband: "But it's raining outside and it's very windy, dear."
Wife: "DO I HAVE TO REPEAT MYSELF???"
Husband: "No dear. I'm leaving now. Right away. Whatever you say."

Our ER Docs tell me that in the case of snakebites, 90% of bites to the upper body are to males. Females almost always get bit on the leg, foot, etc.
I assume it means women don't watch where they are going and men shouldn't.

The actual reason that storms are deadlier for men is that they not only don't come in from the storm, but will actually go out in it to see how bad it really is.
Take for example a typical summer storm with cloud rotation right above my house. I put the wife and kids under the stairs, then proceed to walk out in the front yard and look up. It is amazing how many guys there are in their front yards watching the storm. "Yup, them clouds are spinnin- looks like we might get a tornado!" "Wow- those clouds are a cool shade of green this time!" "That lightning sure is close." etc. Happens 3 or 4 times a year.

Wonder how much this bit of "important research" set the taxpayers back ?

Men can't bleed for a week and not die either.

Women have enough sense to come in out of the rain.

Men are more than twice as likely as women to die during thunderstorms, mainly because they do not come in from the rain, new research suggests. Hey, if there's a crucial putt to make, no man is going to walk off the golf course just because of a few little firecrackers going off overhead!

It was once a survival trait.
Must hunt mammoth. Food for family. Ignore storm.

"Men tend to be optimists. They all think that their team's going to win the pennant and they're never going to be hit by lightning." Studies further show that 90% of fatal lightening strikes occur in the vicinity of Cleveland.

When I was 7 or 8 I was inside my house in the basement (walk out) looking out the window at our toy soldier fort in the sand box, watching as the rain water stream eroded the sand structures. I had to stand on a wooden book shelf to get up to the window and was clinging onto the window hardware when our house was struck by lightning.
Even though I was petty well insulated, I still got a jolt. My sister who was on metal roller skates and a few feet away from me felt nothing.
So I think 1.) You can't hide from lightning inside. 2.) Lightning must be a femnazi that hates men.
